The closure began at about 9 a.m. Friday and is expected to last until Saturday afternoon.

The Water Authority is digging up a section of Coors to repair a water line. A representative with the state’s Department of Transportation said this project could cause lanes to be closed longer than expected.

“We're hoping Saturday night it'll be restored. Worst-case scenario it could go into Sunday,” said NMDOT’s Phil Gallegos. “Whatever time it is, you know and I know, it's not going to be pretty.”
